I'll assume you're not talking about herding cattle or killing weeds. The process of rounding a number is to alter it to one less exact but more convenient for calculations.
Rounding is more accurate than truncating where the number is simply stopped after some criteria (e,g after the second decimal place) is reached.
However rounding is not consistently rounding "up". If it were the sum of a series of numbers which were each "rounded up" would be significantly higher than the same series added "unrounded"
To improve matters criteria are set to round some numbers up and some down. As an example 7.4 rounded to the nearest interer would be 7 (rounded down) and 7.6 would be 8 (rounded up). Numbers in the middle (7.5) would be rounded up, down or alternately up or down depending on the rules you establish for the work

U round it up
What dose round to the nearest whole percent mean?
You mean 'does' not 'dose'... It means exactly what it says - round up the number to the next whole. for example - if the number was 23.6... you would simply round it up to 24.
What is 33.7 to the nearest one?
I assume you mean to round it to the nearest whole number. In this case, you would round it up to 34
What does estimate in hundreds mean?
It means to round up if the number is bigger than 5 and if the number is lower than 5 you round down
What does interpret with remainder mean?
Done the calculation (get the answer) and also show the remainder (don't round up or down).
